It’s gone. Disappeared! Vanished!
In previous versons of InDesign you could open the Shear dialog box and choose the Shear Angle (which is the amount of shearing), and then choose under the Axis area an angle for the shearing.
And now it’s gone.
You can only choose a Horizontal or Vertical axis.
This is so strange, especially since Illustrator still has the “complete” set of shear controls. Notice the Angle option.
Why would anyone take this out of InDesign? I know nobody ever uses the Angle Axis, but it is very unlike Adobe to take things out of the program.
Any thoughts?
